Finding Myself.
Submitted by: Mamabear80
EnglandI have 4 children, am married and work in a dementia care home. I also love working out and sea swimming.
In January I was feeling so down. I was overweight by 3 stone, and had lost touch with who I was if that makes sense? All I had become was a mother, a wife, and a maid who cleaned and did laundry all day.
One day my husband’s auntie came over for a coffee. I had not seen her for a while and I was blown away by how amazing she looked. So fresh and alive at 53 years old, she knocked the socks off of me.
She told me she went to the gym every morning without fail. She took dance classes, step class, and several other different classes. Then she asked if I would like to join her the next day. I thought it could not be any worse than how I feel right now.
I was so worried that I never slept that night. I even cried in the car park before I went into the gym. I was so rubbish at the classes. I knew no good moves and I couldn’t keep up. My body was in so much pain afterward that I couldn’t move but I went back the next day and every day after that. Every day I went and put in 100%.
All the women at the gym had such positive vibes. They started talking about The Secret and how it worked. I had never heard of it before but I wanted to know more. The more I trained, the more positive I was becoming. Every day I would thank the Universe for my body, my husband, and my children.
Then COVID 19 hit and everything changed. I worked in a dementia care home and it was so scary but we all pulled together. I would talk about positive thoughts and positive vibes, looking for the good in things instead of the bad. Looking at how we were all working together, looking out for each other, and spending time as a family to get through this time. It changed my life.
One day I ran into a girl from my gym who I had not seen since the lockdown started. She said that she had started swimming in the sea, every morning at 6 AM. She invited me to join her. So again, I said yes and went the next morning. Wow, it was amazing! We swam and watched the sunrise. I was alive again! All of the stress with work and the lockdown just melted away.
Today, my life is so much brighter, better, and happier. I believed in The Secret 100% and look forward to seeing what is next for me. Thank you!
